Other things that you might want to know

our manifesto.

We created Syinconnect as a place to bring the crazy ones, misfits, rebels and troublemakers together to change the world.

Syinconnect is a two day event designed to challenge preconceptions, redefine expectations, and mess with people’s imaginations.

In these 48 hours, you’ll be teamed up with people who think like you - and some who don’t - to devise a spanking new solution to a very specific, real world social problem.

You’ll emerge with new-found friends, enemies and lovers. Maybe they might all be the same person. Who knows? All that we can guarantee is that you’ll have a better sense of the world around you, and a few tools that might help you make a difference.

So why come to Syinconnect? 

Well, why the heck not?

abbreviated faq.

why the attitude?

cos we’ve had enough bluilsht. these problems aren’t going away, and someone’s got to do *something*

did you get dropped as a baby?

lots of times. never noticed a difference.

do I have to pay anything?

cos we value our efforts, and we value yours, we are pricing Syinconnect tickets at $150 apiece. That’s what we honestly think they’re worth. BUT READ ON.

however, thanks to a generous sponsor, we can now extend full scholarships to all successful applicants! as long as you want to come, and you're the right fit, we’ve got you covered ;)

why do I need to apply?

cos it’s our first time doing something so different, we wanna make sure we do it with someone we’re comfortable with. applications help us do that.

but I’ve got more questions!

email zelig at zelig@syinc.org. unlike me, he’s a remarkably friendly guy.

you can also check out our detailed faq.

I’m convinced. Where to sign up?

why, right over here. The application form is designed to take not more than 15 minutes, and is carefully calibrated such that you’ll learn something new about yourself too. 

I’m convinced, but busy.

get on our mailing list. we’ll tell you when you need to start filling out that form, and/or tell you when the next awesome thing happens in Singapore. no spam ever. pinkie promise.

I’m not convinced.

well, whilst I’d prefer to say a few choice words to you, Zelig won’t let me. so just shoot him an email, and he’ll be happy to help you figure out whether Syinconnect is right for you. hint: it probably is.  :)
